Trial of the Week: SOAP II

Trial of the Week: SOAP II Special Guest: Jessica Casey, PharmD, BCPS, BCCP @jmc_cardspharmd   Jessica Casey joins to discuss the April Trial of the Week “Comparison of Dopamine and Norepinephrine in the Treatment of Shock,” the SOAP II study, published in NEJM in 2010. We set the scene by reviewing catecholamine vasopressor receptor physiology, guideline recommendations, and pre-SOAP II research. Then we do a deep dive into the SOAP II trial of the week. Did including all forms of shock help or hurt? How does the mortality in this study compare with others? Would this have been as positive of a study in 2024? What do the guidelines recommend now? Is dopamine dead? Will anyone take norepinephrine’s throne? Jessica and I review trial fun facts, stand-out supplementary materials, and much, much more.   Reference list: https://pharmacytodose.files.wordpress.com/2024/04/soap-ii-trial-of-the-week-references.pdf   PharmacyToDose.Com @PharmacyToDose [email protected] Learn more about your ad choices.
